Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1887-01-07
Construction of Iron ocean steamers.

The first vessel was launched in 1917,
and is still in existence. But not till 1882
did the work seriously begin. At that
time the Lloyds began to build small iron
steamers for short voyages. A certain
amount of prejudice had to be overcome.
for there were many doubts as to its
strength and buoyancy. But it made its
way, and the first successful iron steamer
made transatlantic voyage in 1913, the
Great Britain, launched by the Great
Western company. In those days the
Great Britain was rated as an unusually
large sized ship. 1t was a ship Of 1900
tons burden, and was an iron screw
steamer combining the new methods of
propulsion and construction. The voyage
was successful, and the ship Is still in ex-
istence, and, till within few years ran to
Australia.
Her success led to imitation in the
English marine, and in 1850 the Inmau
line was established between LIVERPOOL
and New York of iron screw steamers. 1t
had no profitable mail contract, and was
purely q commercial undertaking. but
under skillful management has been very
successful. In the United States iron ship
building has never taken root the way it
has in England. Americans began early
to build small iron steamers, and do now,
but only for cOasting lines We only use
iron in cases where we are entirely cut off
from competition, or where we are driven
to 1t, as it is impossible to use wood for
much of the coasting service.-Detroit

oulnine,s Rlyal in the Genus Citrus.

The Italian doctors are blooming" lem
ons, khatta oranges, lines, and other
varieties of the genus citrus as rivals of
quinine. DR.. 4. Bonaviat says that de-
coction of lemon and Khatta orange will
cure intermittent fever as certainly as
quinine, and that it acts with rapidity
even in the tertian and quartan forms. In
cases of weakness and loss of appetite
after fever the effect is even more quickly
developed. It shows itself after the sec
ond dose, improving the appetite and di-
gestion and diffusing yigor through the
nervous and muscular systems. He tried
three kinds Of sour citrus in such cases,
and they appear equally good. Similarly
beneficial results were obtained in en-
largement of the spleen, and it would ap-
pear that we have in the genus citrus
a remedial agent for intermittent fevers
and their consequences Of much potentcy.
1t would be interesting to find out
whether this medicinal agent exists ready
made in the fruit or is brought out by the
action of the boiling citric acid on the
essential oil and bitter principle of the
rind; whether it exists only in some citrus
or in all the fruit of the genus; whether it
also exists in the leaves, bark, and wood
of the trees-Chicago News

THE YANKEE WAY WITH SEED
CORN.

One Of the most important things
which a farmer does is selecting seed
corn. AS a rule, coarse cobs show
late muturity and small fine cobs, we'll
tipped out, indicate perfect maturity
and adaptation to soil, and it is well
to maintain this fxedness of charac-
ter. After husking, the curing of
corn takes place to agreat extent, and
a large soft cob gives a tendency to
mold therefore they should be avoid
ed. Our old farmers decided if the
cob was too large in this way:
Dampen a piece Of brown paper,
bind it tightly around the a as high
the kernels covering them trim the
end and let it dry then draw out the
ear, shell and return the kernels to the
core. If all the kernels will go in
easily they would say the cob is too
large and the corn not fit for seed.
The smallest cob, the best tipped out,
all the rows running straight from end
to end, will not usually be found
among the largestaor longest ears, but
among those of medium size.1[J. NJ,

LITTER AND TRASH.

There is nothing a farmer can do
that will pay a handsomer profit than
keeping a hand and cart from the first
day in the year to the last day hauling
pine straw, oak leaves, trash, wood
mould, swamp muck, rotten logs and
stumps and the dirt from around the
same in the fields, and COW pens, hog
lots and horse. lots. 4, You can make
two acres of worn out land good in
this way cheaper than you can clear
one acre and get it ready for seed.
One hand, horse and cart can cover
twenty-five. acres with dirt. besides
keeping your lots all we'll strawed.
And twenty-five acres are as much if
not more than n hand will grub in
M year to say nothing about cutting
it down and clearing it off for grub
bing, and cleaning it off after grub
bling, And when we bring wi old,
exhausted lands up in this way, you
see its value is so much capital added
to u wealth, and we still have our
woodlands undisturbed.
And besides this, reclaimed and re-
deemed land is so much easier both on
mar and beast to cultivate, and you
can cultivate so much more without
breaking plows, stumping toes and
sometimes losing your sweet temper.
Now if you have eve tried this
plan of bringing up old exhausted
lands try it. You have no idea how
much one faithful hand and cart can
do in ~redeeming worn out lands.-

COTTON MANUFACTURING IN
THE SOUTH.

The Manufacturer Record, Of Balti-
more, for last week, publishes a COM
pilation of the increase in the manu-
facture of cotton in several states of
the South and the percentage Of prof
it, which will average fully 20 per
cent. on the cost.
Beginning with South Carolina, it
says the Pacolet company with $4,000
spindles, is building another mill of
equal size, and the Pelzer company
with $4,000 spindles, is building an
other large mill. At Marion a $780,
900 mill is in course of construction;
one of $500, 900 at Greenville; n at
Clifton of $500, 900; one at Benefits
vile of $2OO,000; one at Columbia of
$3.50, 900, and one at Fort Mill of
$4,000 while others are projected
at Greenwood, Spartanburg, Ander-
son. Chester, Camden and other points.
In North Carolina they are now build
ing a mill at Lincolnton to cost $780,
900; at Big Falls one of 100000; at
Concord one of $4,000; at Enoree
one of $500 while others will be
built at Davidson College and other
points. In Georgia, at Columbus, the
Swift company has added 5000 spin
dies to their mill; the Muscogee, of
the same place, a new mill of 400

A correspondent of New England
Farmer thus describes his way of max
ing hay Hay is one of the most if
not the most important crops in New
England. The value of the crop to
the consumer depends largely upon
the time when it is cut, and the
metho1 of curing it. The best time
to cut it is when it is in blossom. To
cure, NOV in the morning as soon as
the dew is off. Rake in the afternoon
if fairly wilted, put it in a cock, trim
up as though you expected a storm,
let it stand at least two days three
are better, and put in the barn. Don't
touch it until you are ready to take it
in. Possibly it may be necessary to
turn the cocks over the day you put
in to dry the moisture that may have
gathered at the bottom of the cock
Hay cured in that way will retain
all the juices and will look nearly as
green as before it was cut. When
hay has been in a cock night and
fairly settles, no rain will penetrate so
far but the next days sun will dry all
out.-Southc1n A~gracuhurtst.

papers in Texas at present that are
growing quite friendly to the Farmers
Alliance, are even getting loud in their
praises Of the Alliance. These took
great pleasure a few months back in
making mouths at the Alliance, aud
even called it hard names, and-well
it is too late now to begin pandering
to, or making love to the Alliance.

He appointed the day to meet all who
had made applications for money, but to
the great surprise and sorrow of them all,
the day came, but the moneyed negro
has not been seen or heard from vet. 1t
is exceedingly strange to see how a great
many people can be taken in by frauds,
white as we'll as colored.

The homestead law is a curse to
every honest citizen in the State of
North carolina, be he either white or
black, rich " poor. 1t has long since
outlived its usefulness and the purpose
for which it was created. 1t is a duty
that the people owe to themselves and
the business and industries of the State
to see that the law is abolished as soon
as possible. The Abolition Of this
odious law would have a marvellous
effect for good on every branch of
business in North Carolina and would
work a wonderful change in business
relations. 1t must be plain to all that
the law protects the rascal and at the
same time harms the honest citizen
who regards it his duty to pay his
debts. 1t is the policy Of the Enter
prise to condemn in the strongest
terms every bad law, and among sew
eral bad ones with which the peo-
pie of this State are afflicted it regards
the homestead law as the worst.
While i. is the duty of a good citizen
and a loyal newspaper to respect the
laws of his country, it is equally their
duty to condemn and seek to abolish a
law when the effect is for evil instead
of for good.-High Point Enterprise.
